The 2013 Paris Polar Festival

The 10th edition of the Paris Polar Festival will take place in the 13th arrondissement of Paris from November 22nd to November 25th, 2013.

This 4-day festival, which explores a literary genre too often considered minor, is organized by the 13th arrondissement town hall and the Paris Polar association. It covers all genres, from cinema to music, including painting and photography.
